When a multi-million dollar lottery winner is kidnapped, the FBI's Most Wanted team is tasked with finding her before it's too late in season 2 episode 7 of FBI: Most Wanted titled "Winner."
The episode begins with the joyful news that a local woman named Claire has won $300,000,000 in the lottery. However, her happiness is short-lived when she is kidnapped from her home soon after the announcement. The kidnappers demand a ransom of $30,000,000, but the FBI's Most Wanted team suspects there may be more to the story than just money.
They soon realize that Claire's ex-husband may be involved in the kidnapping. He had been living off her alimony payments and was cut off once she won the lottery. The team tracks him down and arrests him, but he denies any involvement in the crime. They continue to question him, and he eventually reveals that he overheard a conversation between Claire and her financial advisor, who had been embezzling money from her for years.
The team focuses their investigation on the financial advisor and discovers that he had a gambling problem and was in significant debt to a local bookie. They track the bookie down, who reveals that he had been threatening the financial advisor but didn't know about the kidnapping.
As their search to find Claire continues, the team receives a break when they observe a car matching the description of the kidnappers' car. They follow the car and engage in a high-speed chase, but it ends in tragedy when the kidnappers crash their car, and Claire is nowhere to be found.
The team discovers that the kidnappers were actually a father and son duo who had previously kidnapped a lottery winner for ransom. The son was killed in the crash, but the father refuses to reveal Claire's location. However, the team uses their expertise to deduce that Claire is hidden in a nearby warehouse.
They storm the warehouse and rescue Claire, who is in rough shape but alive. She reveals that the financial advisor had been blackmailing her for years, and she was afraid to go to the police. The team arrests the financial advisor, and Claire is reunited with her family.
In the end, the team reflects on how wealth can sometimes bring more problems than solutions. They also emphasize the importance of trust in relationships and encourage people to seek help if they find themselves in a similar situation to Claire's.
Overall, "Winner" is a thrilling episode with several twists and turns that keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The team's dedication to solving the case and finding Claire alive is a testament to their professionalism and compassion for victims of heinous crimes.
